About our host: Our host was very friendly and helpful! She checked in with us regularly over the course of our month stay to ensure everything was going well and took several occasions to offer suggestions about places of interest catered to our family of six. When she learned we were traveling to other places in Thailand, she took the time to research and suggest other fun activities outside of Bangkok. She spoke great english and there was no confusion about any issues. She maintained excellent communication, even when she had to leave to Singapore for a time. Her kindness and professionalism really made our stay smooth and very enjoyable.

Location: Perfectly situated near Ploenchit BTS station, with a handy 7-eleven right down the street for cheap snacks/food/hygiene items. There is a great local market at the base of the street selling all kinds of fun foods, and on the way to the BTS in front of the 7-eleven there is a street vendor that sells our family's favorite fried chicken EVER (KFC, Royal Farms, Popeye's doesn't even compare). Super close to the embassies of the US and the Netherlands (if that matters to you) as well as Central Embassy. If you decide to visit, make sure to check out the EatThai at the basement of Central Embassy. It has a sampling of all the different kinds of Thai cuisine based on region (Northern, Southern, Eastern, etc.) Priced very reasonably, authentically prepared, and presented in a way fitting of a fine restaurant (though without the crazy price tag)

Living conditions: Super clean, modern, and comfortable. We really came to feel like it was a home away from home. The Washing machine/Dryer combo is a huge plus, helping us save on laundromat trips and $. Loved the city views at sunrise/sunset from the balcony in the room as well as from the roof. The beds were very comfortable, with premium linens and sheets. There were absolutely no bad smells (no cigarette smoke or canal water). Immaculate bathroom with a very clean, spacious shower and excellent plumbing and draining. The AC in the living room and bedroom was very effective, and we were very grateful for it.
